To make the sound of O by rounding one´s lips to resemble the bottom of a Coke bottle, maybe the same meaning as It´s as simple as ABC

The idiom I Know in Spanish is "no saber hacer la o con un canuto", meaning that somebody knows nothing or can do nothing.

There are many, but the silence of the OP seems suspicious.

we have gone too far, and I tell you why. No saber hacer la o con el culo un vaso o con un canuto, means that sb is so useless that he or she cannot do anything, that she is really clumsy, he writes awfully, she doesn´t know how to draw, even how to do the washing up. I hope this is understood now.
